  - Does it though? It seems to me that if it's not prosecuted it gives a blue print to future presidents that there is no consequences for abusing the - pmb Oct 7, 11:05 7
    - No, not without consequences. There are any number of prosecutions and investigations already going on -- just not led by the AG. See, e.g. ... -- (link*) - ReluctantCynic Oct 7, 11:37
    - shocking nobody, I agree with poombah. -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 7, 11:32
    - See? That's what worries me. I mean, imagine if TFG or any of his people were actually smart... - Turd Ferguson Oct 7, 11:29 4
      - That is my biggest fear, too. And I could be persuaded to support a federal AG investigation. But for now, I'm far more worried about Sen. Tom Cotton. - ReluctantCynic Oct 7, 11:40 3
        
        Fortunately Cotton has the Charisma of a wet sponge - Jovian Oct 7, 12:36
        
        That’s my concern too. But you seem to think not prosecuting Trump would be a bigger deterrent to Cotton than prosecuting. I don’t really understand - pmb Oct 7, 11:53

  - This. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 7, 11:48
  - not sure i agree, i think it's pretty close to a majority who do want to see the DOJ go after Trump. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 11:41
  - So just let us walk into that dictatorship in 2024 is the answer then? -- nm - Jovian Oct 7, 10:57 2
    - Well *helping him win* by sending the DOJ after him doesn't seem like a wise solution -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 11:03 1
